I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

Is lowering the conscription age from 25 to 18 is the solution to #Ukraine’s troop shortage problem? In today’s Eastern Europe edition, we explain why things are not that simple.

🇬🇪 Protest in support of Georgian people in front of the European Parliament in Brussels. My little Armenian flag from April protests in Tbilisi accompanying me. In solidarity for freedom. #tavisupleba

🇬🇪 Back to Tbilisi today, for German Marshall Fund EaP Alumni Forum. Fantastic opening session with US, German and EU Ambassadors on EU enlargement, the future of EaP and liberal democracy. 🇺🇸🇩🇪🇪🇺

I've put more than a year in creating my what I call "Cinematography book". Every shot & quote carefully chosen from the massive amount of good cinema I watch. It's been an increadibly therapeutic experience to make something so personal and meaningful that represents me so well.
To be continued.

This docu absolutely destroyed me. The Wanted 18 is about the efforts of Palestinians in Beit Sahour to start a small local dairy industry during the First Intifada, hiding 18 dairy cows from Israeli security forces who deemed those cows a threat to #Israel's national security. #Palestine

We have also a problem when demoracies don't believe other democracies.
Another problem when democracies believe far-right and authoritarian governments, just because they are allies.

So far, feels like a breath of fresh air.

What's even more absurd is that The West/Ukrainians compare themselves with Azerbaijan and Armenia - with Russia, given the same power dynamic.
